Oh, my! My husband was talking about using all of the expansions and modules together, and now I’m wondering if we could even fit this on our table… Which is a pretty big dining table with a leaf in the middle. Yikes!

It really is a shame, because this wasn’t like the entire game was poorly designed or developed. With decent rulebooks focused on the perspective of new players, I probably would have had at least a moderately fun time! Alas, everything else you mentioned has crossed my mind and I’ve also been wondering about the scooters in multiplayer.

Seems like there is a fun game to discover, although it’s hard for me to justify putting in the time to figure it all out when there are so many excellent games that put in that work to make learning and playing straightforward. Sadly, this felt like the final steps to finalize the rules were given up on.

Really enjoyed the game play of this game. The rulebook was the worst I’ve read. Setup and pictures completely contradicted each other. It was as if it was written by an AI. Also some production decisions like reducing the amount of stalls completely changed how many scooters you could obtain in multi-player games as there would not be enough stalls to purchase and the upgrade. Looked like this decision to reduce cost for less tiles overlooked this key gameplay connection or the setup modification that would have alloted for this fix, (not starting with an upgraded tile) never made it in to the rulebook. Unfortunately I think this game suffered from too many modules. You thought the game was a hog with the base game? Try adding in the excellent arcade expansion which increases the player board by at least 33%. I feel the modules and all the rules implications where a distraction for getting a quality rulebook and ruleset for an otherwise quality worker placement resource management game.
